These videos of Marcel the Shell With Shoes On have been out for a while. The first one was posted in 2010, and the second one was posted last month. I watched them then, so I’m not sure why I’ve watched them over and over this week. Maybe Marcel is just a good antidote to holiday stress. I shared Marcel with gorgeous designer/blogger Stacy Lomman, who shared it with her father. Now they’re both smiling a lot … “because it’s worth it.” In case you’ve never seen Marcel — or just need to see him again — here are both videos. You can buy Marcel’s book here.
UPDATED TO ADD: Stacy is so enthused about Marcel that she found a girlfriend for him. This is Shelly, who lives in Florida. As you can see, Shelly hangs out with hot chicks.

Shelly and the chicks.
Oh thank you So much for putting these up. I’ve been meaning to watch these! Sweetest thing ever!

Marcel the Shell and Shit Girls Say — two best vids of the year. So good and so quotable. “We don’t fight unless we’re provoked.”
“Read on!”

LOL… “Read on!”
Poor doggy (“I love you!”).
BTW, my biggest regret is that I don’t have a dog named Ruprecht!
